Canvassing opinions here, the below is exactly how my car looks in Flint Grey and the exact same wheels.

My wheels are Volvo/Ford scabby and 13 years old so they're being treated to a full strip down tyres off Powder Coat (Mrs_Welly approved)

Question is, what sort of colour suits the 'boring' grey paint? I think bright silver is best as it contrasts with the grey and gives it a focus, I've seen dark coloured wheels on these and it just makes the car look dirty and a bit meh.

Looking forward to seeing what the Volvo Forumists have to say on the matter.

How many limbs is this exercise setting you back Welters? My (grey) winter rims are beginning to suffer powder coat failure so could do with the aforementioned treatment. I might just forget about them for another year though... need a full set of summer rubber imminently so that's gonna hurt the wallet!

Volvo Forums said, very politely, BRIGHT SILVER. One member works at a stealership and said my wheels wobbled out the factory with a bright 'Silverstone' finish which is very metallic and bright. I'm ok with that.

4 wheels are going to cost £313.00 all in. I think that's alright. I'm using a national franchise chain: 'The Wheel Specialist' at present they have Daughter_Welly's buckled alloy in for repair and refinish so I'll get to see their work for myself.
